Animal Kingdom

This is Walt Disney World® Resort’s signature hashtag for the summer of ’19….and for good reason.

There are so many fun things coming to the 4 parks and Disney Springs this summer.

Hollywood Studios has a new nighttime show, and let’s not forget a little thing called Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge. Have fun new snacks and a new day-time parade celebration at Magic Kingdom. At Epcot, we’re getting ready for the new evening celebration, and Animal Kingdom offers fun dance parties and interactions with your favorite characters.

Join Karen and special guest, Lilliana Garcia as they discuss Lilliana’s recent hosted event where she was able to experience and sample some of the great new summer treats and fun.

Animal Kingdom Lodge was our weekend home as Karen and Jeff got away for a few days to celebrate their upcoming wedding anniversary.

Recording live from the Lodge, complete with background noise from drums, kids, music, and doors, they reflect on their visit to the resort, the Haunted Mansion special event, Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, and some restaurant reports.

Please be sure to subscribe to our podcast, as we have plans in the future to incorporate video into our shows on our new YouTube channel.

Disney After Hours is a great way to experience the parks with very minimal crowds. Imagine, walk on to any attraction or character meet, and free Mickey Bars. What could be better?

In this episode, Karen and Jeff discuss their experiences attending the events at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom.

We also take a look at upcoming After Hours events including Villains Unite the Night. At this event, the villains will come out for a spectacular stage show, and you’ll even have special appearances by Malificent. Look for special snacks and merchandise, too.

We also talk about H2O Glow Nights, a special after hours event being held at Typhoon Lagoon.

He hope you enjoy this episode, and be sure to subscribe.

Disney Park tours are an amazing way to experience even more while on your family vacation. Whether you are a Walt Disney history buff, enjoy behind the scenes access, or just want to experience something new, tours are a fun way to bring these to life.

In this week’s episode, I chat with my dad, Tom Wunder, about our 5 favorite tours….

In today’s episode, we discuss 2 major happenings at Walt Disney World Resort.

First, it was recently announced that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will open at Disneyland in the summer of 2019, while its counterpart will open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in late fall of 2019. We discuss our expectations of the parks, as well as some strategies for getting to see Galaxy’s Edge in 2019.

Also beginning this Memorial Day weekend was Incredible Summer at Walt Disney World Resort. We describe all the new and fun surprises in store for the summer at all 4 parks (and a water park, too). Yes, we talk about the special food as well.

Adults Only at Walt Disney World. Is this really a thing? We say YES !!!

We are often asked the question “Are there things to do at Walt Disney World just for adults?” The answer is an astounding Yes. In fact, we visit the parks regularly without our kiddos. Don’t get me wrong….I love our kiddo adventures. But sometimes, it’s great to get away with just a spouse, or even with some adult friends. In this episode, we explore a few fun things to day for the 18+ (and in some cases, 21+) crowd.

We explore several of our favorite “date night” restaurants and night club destinations.

Park events such as the Epcot festivals and evening Magic Kingdom events are high on our list for adult-only adventures.

And don’t forget recreation and pampering in the spas or on the golf course.

Danny and Stacey are out of town this week, so Jeff and I explore some options, and share our favorite experiences as a couple at the parks and resorts.
